Chelsea are being linked with all sort of players this winter, below we give a run down of five of the most popular names doing the rounds.

Arturo Vidal

This one could be a possibility, highly unlikely in January, but it would not be a huge surprise to see the Bayern Munich ace sign in the summer.

James Rodriguez

The players father has made it clear that Rodriguez is going nowhere, obviously things can change, but the chances of there being a deal done in January are remote at best.

Marco Verratti

This one is probably the most likely, he is apparently unhappy in France with Paris St Germain and if Chelsea were to make a decent enough offer he could move this January to Stamford Bridge.

Virgil van Dijk

Not sure abot this one, the Southampton man looks more destined for Liverpool than London, what we do know is that a huge offer will have to be made for the Saints to sell.

Dimitri Payet

Not going to happen, West Ham simply will not sanction this one, the blowback from their fans would be too much, it really does not matter how much is offered, becase if the owners of West Ham sold their positions would become untenable.
